From the French edition. Original etching with aquatint and original hand-colouring. Sheet size: 35.4.1cm x 25.5cm Date: circa 1817-26. From the first edition which was larger in size than the reprints. Ready for framing. Original etching with aquatint and original hand-colouring. Very minor marks to the margins of plate surface. Blind stamp of Boston Reference Library to the corner of the margin which does affect the image but as it is a blind-stamp rather than an ink stamp it is not obtrusive. In very good indeed, clean condition overall with bright hand-colouring and no off-setting. A scarce and desirable plate from the first edition of this ground-breaking and important work.
